The courses are open for UiO students and give credits.
All courses are free and open to all, with the only requirements being a completed bachelor's degree and payment of the annual student fee for the University of Oslo.
Several of the 5 credit courses are extra intensive and will take place over the course of one week, followed by an exam. This is a format which SUM has experience with from its research school.
Students who are not affiliated with SUM can contact the student administration by sending an email to [email protected].
